Verify a claimed domain

POST/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/sso/domains/{domain}/verify

Resolves the domain's DNS TXT record and, if it carries this claim's token, flips the claim to verified; a verified domain is exclusive to one Account (partial unique index). Returns 400 when the record is missing or the token does not match (the claim is marked failed), 404 when no claim exists, and 409 when another Account already verified the domain. Rate-limited to 10 requests per minute; emits sso.domain.verified or sso.domain.verification_failed audit rows.

Authentication

Bearer TokenAuthorization

JWT access token. Never send alongside X-API-Key: a request carrying both is refused.

Requires capability sso.manageSecurity

Manage SSO connections, domains, and directory sync. Granted through an administrator role in the Admin Workspace; a valid token without it is refused with 403.

Path Parameters

domainstring Required
